I also have an Aztec 470 and Im not clear on the " new nozzle changing" could you clear that up so we can help in a choice?
Why not make the whole plane out of the same material the blackbox is made from?

Hi All
After a quick stop at the
testors.com web site I see no mention of any changes to their Airbrushes or their AB tips.

I have a Badger Anthem 155, works great for me! Double Action, easy to clean, easy to replace only the parts needed. Sprays a thin line (thin enough for me) to big 3" (or so) wide spray. Never given me any troubles...and I picked it up relatively cheap at my LHS (less than $100). Have never used any other ABs, except the basic bottom of the line Badger (> $20). Good luck in choosing!

Im no Pro by any means but I've been using the Badger 360 universal for about a year now and like it a lot. It converts from gravity feed to a bottom feed with a simple rotation of the front end of the gun so if you only need a small amount of paint, you can just use the built in cup. Also there is only one nozzle and needle to worry about. Although it’s a little expensive, if you airbrush a lot it may be worth it to you. You may want to check eBay for a good deal on one.
